If you did not install the same oem filter drier that is the problem with the charge, but the bigger problem is the unit is most likely still has a leak. The evaporator leak like hell in the sandwich units. I never just scale in a charge if i changed the drier. You didi well for now but you will be back within a year!

Never go by the weigh in charge only, thats why you have gages. Also when you went back was it low on gas or what? If so, you may indeed have antoher leak in the evap as the guy above said those prep coolers that store vinegar based or ketchup, dressings and junk really eat up coils.

yep dice and the other fellow is right,if you have any of that green corrosion on any of your refer lines,you can bet you have another leak.take all of tht armaflex off and you will see all that green on your suction line and captube.clean that crap off pressurize with alittle nitro and spray with some soapy water,you will see all kinds of little bubbles forming,

yep you r right there my friend,more often than not you find that crap on an older cooler,as soon as you remove armaflex all the water comes running out,and that green **** burns your fingers if you have any cuts or scratches.
